SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:26
y yo les he manifestado tu Nombre, y lo manifestar an; para que el amor con que me has amado, est en ellos, y yo en ellos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 17:26
Verse 26. I have declared unto them thy name, &c.] I have taught them the true doctrine. And will declare it] This he did: 1st. By the conversations he had with his disciples after his resurrection, during the space of forty days. 2dly.
By the Holy Spirit which was poured out upon them on the day of pentecost. And all these declarations Jesus Christ made, that the love of God, and Christ Jesus himself, might dwell in them; and thus they were to become a habitation for God through the eternal Spirit.
OUR Lord's sermon, which he concluded by the prayer recorded in this chapter, begins at chap. xiii. 13, and is one of the most excellent than can be conceived. His sermon on the mount shows men what they should do, so as to please God: this sermon shows them how they are to do the things prescribed in the other. In the former the reader sees a strict morality which he fears he shall never be able to perform: in this, he sees all things are possible to him who believes; for that very God who made him shall dwell in his heart, and enable him to do all that He pleases to employ him in. No man can properly understand the nature and design of the religion of Christ who does not enter into the spirit of the preceding discourse.
Perhaps no part of our Lord's words has been less understood, or more perverted, than the seventeenth chapter of St. John. I have done what I could, in so small a compass, to make every thing plain, and to apply these words in that way in which I am satisfied he used them.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. And I have declared unto them thy name , etc.] Himself, his nature, his perfections, especially of grace and mercy, his mind and will, his Gospel; (see Gill on John 17:6). A very fit person Christ was to make this declaration, since he was with him from all eternity, and was in his bosom; the Father did all in him, and his name is in him; and he is the faithful witness; nor is anything of God to be known savingly, but in and through Christ; the apostles are here particularly meant, though the same is true with respect to all that are given to Christ, who are his children and brethren, to whom he also declares the name of God: and will declare it ; more fully to them after his resurrection, during his forty days stay with them, and upon his ascension, when he poured down his Spirit in such a plentiful and extraordinary manner upon them; and will declare it to others besides them in the Gentile world; and still more in the latter day glory, and to all believers more and more: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them ; that is, that a sense of that love with which God loves his Son, as Mediator, might be in them and abide in them, and which is the rather mentioned because they are loved by the Father with the same love, and share all the blessed consequences of it, the knowledge and sense of which they come at, through Christs declaring his Fathers name unto them; and which they will have a greater sense of, and will be swallowed up in it in heaven to all eternity: and I in them ; dwelling in them, taking up his residence in them; not only by his Spirit and grace here, but by his glorious presence with them hereafter; when they shall be brought to his Fathers house, behold his glory, and be for ever with him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-26 - Christ, as one with the Father, claimed on behalf of all that had bee given to him, and should in due time believe on him, that they shoul be brought to heaven; and that there the whole company of the redeeme might behold his glory as their beloved Friend and Brother, and therei find happiness. He had declared and would further declare the name of character of God, by his doctrine and his Spirit, that, being one with him, the love of the Father to him might abide with them also. Thus being joined to Him by one Spirit, they might be filled with all the fulness of God, and enjoy a blessedness of which we can form no righ idea in our present state __________________________________________________________________
